Summary:
The Sedona-Oak Creek JUSD #9 district in Arizona has only one elementary school, West Sedona Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 and has a total enrollment of 256 students. While the school has a diverse student population, with a majority of Hispanic students, its academic performance on state assessments is generally below the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.
West Sedona Elementary School's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 786 out of 1,039 Arizona elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 953 out of 1,226 in 2020-2021. Its SchoolDigger rating has also been low, with 2 out of 5 stars in the most recent year. This suggests that the school may need to focus on improving its instructional practices and student support to better prepare students for these assessments. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (61.72%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic need among the student population.
Despite these challenges, West Sedona Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.4 to 1, which is a positive factor. The school's diverse student population could also be a strength if the school implements culturally responsive teaching practices and provides additional support to ensure that all students are successful. Overall, the data suggests that West Sedona Elementary School faces significant challenges, but also has the potential to improve with the right strategies and resources in place.
